Stage plots are read fastest when they show people first and gear second. The Dancer (Backup Male) icon shows who stands where, which is the first thing anyone reads on a plot, so the layout is obvious at a glance.
Add it, label it, and save the plot. The next time this band books, the layout is already done.
Put it where it will really stand, not where it is convenient to draw. Performer figures sit on the downstage line for front of band positions and further upstage for the rhythm section, spaced the way the band actually works. Stageplot Pro keeps every icon to scale, so the spacing you draw is the spacing the crew builds.
The detail that saves a phone call. Match figure count to the contracted band size. A plot that shows eight people against a booking for six starts a conversation nobody wants on show day.
Dancer (Backup Male) is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it shows who stands where, which is the first thing anyone reads on a plot, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.
Because the input list is generated rather than typed, it exports straight to console: X32 and M32 scene files, Wing scenes, and CSV channel names for the Allen and Heath, DiGiCo, and Yamaha families. See the console guides.
